Be careful to draw worldwide conclusions on data from areas naturally
almost overloaded with fluor. Most other places are lacking it and
adding fluorine to drinking water (or more safely, to tooth paste and
alike) increases both dental hardness and bone density. Overloading
does the opposite.

A parallell., don't draw conclusions about Se in food on data sampled
in seleniferous areas. That's what you are trying to. Too much F is
dangerous, and the studies cited are such studies telling what doses
you should not get exposed to. But it is not a valid argument that
doses should be indefinitely low, in fentogram or lower doses daily as
you states.
